451. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the number of IDA-supported jobs in each county at the end of 2024, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1732/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraIDA Ireland achieved excellent results in 2024 with continued strong levels of investment and employment across the FDI sector, reporting a total of 234 investments with the potential to create 13,500 jobs over the next few years. 69 investments were from new name or first-time investors, strongly indicating Ireland’s ongoing attractiveness as an FDI location. Ireland cannot afford to be complacent about FDI and fundamental to delivering continued growth and success is a continued focus on competitiveness, agile policies and delivery of national infrastructure.
The number of IDA supported jobs by county, for 2024, is set out in the table below.
